Vintage Chainsaw Collectors Lounge

I imagine 99% of the people here are respectable people so I feel like it would work out, and since everyone here collects chainsaws you would just be adding another saw to the collection if that person didn't pay up and since it was from Craigslist it will probably be a decent price, so you can make your money back on it. I ask because there is a bunch of good stuff on Craigslist up in Washington and Oregon. I would be willing to throw in a little extra for the effort, maybe 5-10% of the price you pay for the saw.

So here is what the piston arm looks like

Also that diaphragm thing fits in the fuel cap but won't stay

Doesn't look like the rust is going to be a problem, if I makes yu feel better you can spray a bunch of wd40 in there and let it sit a while then dump it out really well before you go to put it back together

Sweet! So I found a small engine shop getting rid of all their chainsaws today because they are coming under new management. This is the picture he sent.

So when I was breaking down the ignition coil on my sXL-925, like the novice that I am I managed to break a lead wire because I though it was the magnet holding the coil down. Can you repair a lead wire or do you have to replace the coil?

Pics would help greatly, darn English language, don't know if you mean lead or lead haha

 

[Kensie1988]

As you wish

Also if you could look at that picture will all of the saws and tell me if you can ID the Poulan chainsaws and how much I should give for them, the guy is wanting between 25-50 per saw

 

[astnmacgto]

As you wish

So it looks like you just ripped the terminal end off the wire? I have repaired a few coil wires and connectors. If you know what end style is supposed to be on there then you can crimp on a new end and fix It right up.

 

[Kensie1988]

Well I don't actually think it is long enough, I ripped over half of the length off.

Well then, when you get all that old saw dust and oil out of there so I can see what's going on, I'll try to tell you more. If you ripped it in half then I highly recommend cleaning off the two pieces of wire with carb spray or brake clean and then either solder the wires back together and use some heat shrink on top or you could just use a heat shrink butt connector if you cant solder it well enough.

Sound good, I will get it cleaned up so everything is visible. So can you or @Boomer 87 ID those two Poulan saws on the left of that Homelite, I'm thinking of offering $100 for the two Poulans and the homelite.

 

[Boomer 87]

The one on the right is probly an 1800 or 2000, decent little limber the others are what i consider toss asides( no collectibility)

 

[Kensie1988]

So the one to the right of the Homelight? Do you see anything else there of value?

 

[astnmacgto]

Can't really tell, they appear to be homeowner type poulans, probably more like a pp255 or something, good firewood saws probably but not really collectors items there's also a yellow poulan pro in the bottom right of the pic that might also be a good firewood saw

 

[astnmacgto]

I'm talking about two on left of homie

 

[Boomer 87]

The two on the left are either a 1950 or a 1975 basically nothin much.

 

[Kensie1988]

10-4, I'll probably just try to snag the Homie for $35? Unless somebody wants to pay more then they can have it.
